Dr. Ackerman and his office staff are amazing. Dr. Ackerman has been great to work with and I truly trust him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a digestive health doctor.
Dr. Akerman is a very special. He’s caring, patient, understanding and treats me like one of his own family. I would recommend Dr. Ackerman as the top Gastroenterologist out there!
I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Stuart Akerman, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From my very first appointment, it was clear that he was an exceptional gastroenterologist. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the available treatment options, ensuring that I felt informed and comfortable at every step. Dr. Akerman's expertise is evident; he truly knows what he's doing. His approach is both professional and compassionate, making it easy to trust his recommendations. What impressed me even more was the outstanding support from his professional team, which further enhanced my experience. Communication with Dr. Akerman is seamless; he is incredibly responsive to emails and calls, and I never felt left in the dark about my treatment. If you’re in the DFW area or even beyond, Dr. Stuart Akerman is the go-to gastroenterologist. He genuinely cares for his patients and makes time for everyone, ensuring that each individual receives the attention they deserve. Thank you, Dr. Akerman, for your excellent care!
Friendly, caring and professional. Can’t think of anything that could have been improved on.

Dr. Ackerman's office is very professional and responsive. They do a great job with communication and answering questions.
Every step of the process is handled with precision, and more importantly, with care. This staff understands their assignment and upholds the Doctor’s vision. You’ll be happy you chose Dr. Akerman and his staff to handle your medical needs.
Dr Akerman's team patiently answered my husband's many anxious questions on multiple phone calls. Dr Akerman himself is pretty amazing, and made my husband very comfortable and at ease (which is saying something! LOL) Dr Akerman goes to the top of the referral list for us, he's that good!
Dr Akerman is very confident, maybe a bit arrogant, but I want a physician to be 'that person'. The bedside manner could be softer, but at the same time, he's clearly competent and provides me with a sense of security & safety. At the end of the day, that's what matters! Recommend him & his staff to anyone seeking a highly skilled gastro doc.
Dr Akerman was very friendly and informative. He has great patience care and would recommend to anyone who needs a good Gastroenterologist!
As a physician myself I am acutely aware of the competency and efficiency of other medical practices. Dr Ackerman has a practice that provides the highest level of of care in a most patient centric manner. His professionalism, obvious care and concern for his patients is very much appreciated and stand out as exceptional. I recommend him as a GI specialist without reservation
I was so nervous getting my first colonoscopy, but Dr. Ackerman and his entire team were so kind from the time I checked in. They reassured me and made me feel comfortable up to the time of my procedure that it will be ok and fast. I was very happy when I woke up and realized it wasn’t a scary procedure at all.
After being passed around from Dr to Dr for years with the same mysterious symptoms, Dr. Ackerman finally has given me some answers! I am so thankful to have been referred to him. His nurses and the staff are always so helpful and friendly! I wish I had been referred to him sooner!
Dr. Akerman was fantastic. He explained everything well & had a great bedside manner.
I have been a patient of Dr Akerman for about 7 years and have referred many patients to him. He is thorough, kind and patient and I trust him implicitly!
His office staff holds the same high standards and is always helpful.
I live in Aubrey and hate to drive, but I would drive to Houston if I had to!!

Dr. Stuart Akerman and his staff are among the finest I have encountered. They are professional, friendly, and have exceptional expertise. When I have called with a question, the response is prompt.
I had a great experience with Dr. Akerman! He is super friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. He explained everything to me and calmed me down as this was my 1st time having a colonoscopy. Everyone in his office is fantastic and helpful as well.
